Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Motivating People is Something I’m Super Good At

After the female netizen sent her account, she added, “Help me, I can’t stand being played by him, if he won’t let me be, I won’t let him be either. I know your family is very wealthy. If you can help me delete the private photos he has of me, I’ll give you ten thousand yuan as a reward.”

Tiantian blinked her eyes, “Hmm? I was planning to help her for free, but she’s offering money, then I won’t be polite.”

King of Competition (!_!): “… When have you ever been polite? I haven’t even warned you about how hard you’ve been working lately, I hope you know when to stop!”

Tiantian ignored King of Competition and instead sent a message: “OK, I’ll get it done tonight. Just transfer the money directly to my account, thanks.”

Female netizen: “…”

Tiantian followed up with a string of account numbers, and within two minutes, the money was transferred, not at all afraid Tiantian would scam her.

She watched her account balance with satisfaction and then finally responded to King of Competition, “Warn me about what? It’s not like I’ve been slogging hard; am I not pitiful enough? I was ranked 99th, not first. What makes you think I haven’t slacked off?”

King of Competition (.i_i.): “… Host, are you saying I’m blind?”

Tiantian just decided to give in, “Fine then, sanction me. If I die, you won’t get to live either!”

King of Competition (*`~’*): “Heh, go take a bath.”

Tiantian, as if she had just thought of something, “You’re not actually trying to scare me with that ‘erasing my soul’ thing, are you?”

King of Competition let out a cold laugh, “You can try it.”

“…”

Try it and die?

King of Competition logged off directly, and Tiantian didn’t start her mission until the wee hours of the morning. By hacking into the account, she could find out the other party’s phone number, bank account, and passwords, along with the bound photo albums.

Tiantian found the photo album, which was full of various women’s private photos and screencaps, probably used to extort money from them and then silence them.

This female internet celebrity was not the first, and she certainly wouldn’t be the last.

He was quite cautious, with multiple backups. On his phone, on his computer, and even encrypted storage.

Tiantian effortlessly deleted everything. Out of boredom from gaming, she had learned a few tricks from world-class hackers, never expecting to put them to use here.

Tiantian then got into his gaming account and discovered that he was Wind God, a PUBG streamer with millions of fans and a good look that attracted women.

The private chat records were even worse, blatantly selecting concubines from his fans and having a thing for naked photos – Tiantian almost felt her eyes burn reading them. He even openly insulted his gift-giving fans as ATMs and idiots.

Tiantian deleted all the photos of the girls, leaving only his naked photos.

Then she used his account to post them on various platforms, along with screenshots of his chats insulting his fans. After setting everything up, Tiantian erased her traces to avoid him tracing it back to her.

By 2 a.m., Tiantian yawned, feeling lifeless. Wasn’t she just like any early riser?

It was torture – when could she finally be free to sleep?

Not having enough sleep resulted in Tiantian reverting to her old habits – sleeping during class. And because of her significant improvement in grades, the school kept a close eye on her.

For instance, at this moment, Li Daoer came to notify her, “Student Ji Tian, you’re to be on the podium during the school assembly. The school is awarding the top ten students of each grade for the midterms, as well as a ‘Dark Horse’ prize, which has been awarded to you. There will be a Q&A session, and you just need to say a couple of sentences in response to the principal’s questions.”

Ji Tian’s head was spinning, and it took her a while to reply, “Oh, okay.”

Li Daoer: “…”

She could get into the top one hundred with that attitude?!

He suspected she was cheating but had no proof.

“Tiantian! Ahh, you’re actually going to speak on stage! Usually, we can only watch from below. If one of us has to rise to the occasion, it has to be you.” Jian Chuyi was so excited that she shook Ji Tian’s clothes, almost making her throw up.

She leaned against the desk, “Chuyi, calm down, I’m going to be sick.”

Jian Chuyi immediately let go, “Sorry, I got too excited.”

Ji Tian, before being reborn, would’ve been nauseated just at the thought of speaking from the podium. She had always been an outstanding student, never missing an award ceremony, but this was her first time at Imperial City Academy.

“All students, please gather on the sports field, the awards ceremony will begin shortly.”

The voice from the classroom’s loudspeaker jolted Ji Tian back to reality, “He didn’t give me a script, what am I supposed to say?”

Jian Chuyi was equally stunned but quickly recovered, “Ah, this… didn’t the homeroom teacher ask you to improvise? Just say something pleasing, something inspiring, that will make them work harder, compete more, and strive higher!”

Ji Tian earnestly promised, “No problem, I’m super good at inspiring people.”

The whole school gathered on the sports field, with Imperial City Academy’s field capable of holding forty to fifty thousand people. With a total student population of twelve thousand from grades ten to twelve, the sophomore class was smaller. Ji Tian stood at her class’s designated spot, right next to the senior (19) class.

The principal, donning a black suit, round and chubby, proudly sported a beer belly. His sparse hair was combed back to cover a reflective scalp, and behind his glasses, he said into the microphone, “This midterm’s results are part of a five-province joint exam. Our school ranked first in this joint exam. To thank our outstanding students for bringing glory to our academy, we are awarding these certificates as recognition.”

“Now, when I call your name, please come up to receive your award.”

“The first place in the sophomore class goes to Xu Nian.

Second place, Zhong Yi.

Third…”

The top ten students from each grade successively went up to receive their awards and to speak.

The recipients, when asked by the principal how they managed to do well in their studies and were asked to share their personal experiences, were all eloquent. Ji Tian summarized what she heard.

Aside from eating, sleeping, and using the bathroom, they seemed to clutch their books at all times, possibly even reviewing in their minds when their eyes were shut, fearing that missing a single second could lead to being overtaken by others.

The principal was thrilled, repeatedly praising the hard work of the students, emphasizing that only through effort can one receive rewards.

The sophomore class representatives were Shen Zhiyi and Bai Tingyu.

This was her first time sharing the stage with Bai Tingyu.

Also on the stage was Gong Yu, whose grades were in the top three of the sophomore level.

As one of the few scholarly elites from wealthy families, Bai Tingyu and Gong Yu certainly gained a lot of attention, and they now had even more young admirers secretly in love with them.

Shen Zhiyi wore the distinctive green and white uniform of Imperial City Academy, standing out in a school where everyone usually wore everyday clothing.

Her beauty was fresh and clean, vibrant and spirited as she spoke, “There’s no shortcut to my study method. To succeed, one must work harder than anyone else.”

The principal looked at her with satisfaction, “Good, I’ve sometimes observed your performance in our learning software. You excel in both arts and sciences–noteworthy indeed.”
